Among the worst customer service I have encountered in 70 years. It was designed not to answer but to deflect complaints. I thought I had cancelled my 14-day trial after one day, when I discovered that MyHeritage did not have mainstream UK files. Somehow I failed to cancel. On being charged the annual subscription, I got in touch immediately as I had not used the site after the first day. Eventually someone from Customer Services rang. Their function was to get me to sign up for even more facilities although I made it clear, I wished to cancel the account and be refunded. The agent was so persistent that he told me twice to stop interrupting him when I tried to explain that I did not want more features. In the end I gave up trying to explain. Instead of a proper refund, I was given 25% and several new features which I did not ask for. I assume that I shall be automatically charged for renewing these too.
I had a wonderful experience with the MyHeritage sales team, specifically Itai. He was very knowledgeable and helpful with my membership renewal process. However, I was very disappointed that multiple-year memberships are no longer offered, regardless of how long you have been a loyal customer. Something that the leadership team should consider for retaining their most dedicated customers.
The staff for MyHeritage are always friendly and helpful. It may take longer to resolve or receive solutions or to receive answers to questions without phone calls. However that is not the Staffs' fault
The emails giving details of matches are welcome, but cover a lot of information that needs to be checked and can be overwhelming at times. Checking things out can take hours and not be completed, which leads me to need to back-track.
Its not always easy to remember what has been added to the family tree, although an email is sent summarising the changes.
Personen werden bei unterschiedlicher Schreibweise als NEU vom Programm angelegt und in der Folge auch ihre Familienangehörige. Somit ist eine und dieselbe Person mitunter bis zu 10 mal im Stammbaum. Besser KI Abgleich erforderlich und konkrete Abfrage der KI vor dem anlegen einer Person. Damit werden doppelte Geisterpersonen vermieden.
Außerdem kann ich nach Anschaffung eines neuen Gerätes den Treebuilder nicht mehr finden oder neu installieren.
I have been used My Heritage since many years for research of my italian ancestors. It's quite difficult because italian information, it's not yet digitalized.
After many years I received a call from My Heritage, we discussed about my difficulties and they proprosed to me to up to date the level of my access, with a strong discount.
The first result it has been that also for italian people I received info from old newsparer... finally
At times intensive research and periods in abeyance. Generally accurate although quite a few errors on site.
Under matches by Source, there are 33 matches to review under Nevada, Clark County Marriages.
When I click on review 33 matches, the message of "There are currently no pending matches" comes up.

C est magique toutes les découvertes que l' ont fait! Et celles que l ont recoupe avec les personnes de notre entourage! On découvre des secrets, des métiers, des cousins habitant d' autres pays; c est vraiment enrichissant
The basic problem is that personal communication is never involved. It's a mess of different entities, human and technical, that send random messages, that can't see the whole picture.
It took a while to answer but i was answered i find the AI bot hard to talk to in help
I am not one for bad reviews and don't get me wrong this is not a bad review.
The software is brilliant but when we have issues support takes forever.
I feel as a Premium customer one should at least get some support. Not wait a week or more for a return on your ticket! Plz fix it
For my family search MyHeritage is perfect, I have made connections with relatives but the price is too high which makes it harder now that I have retired from work.
Always enjoy the experience but it needs a better way to help user correct errors
I was very disappointed to find trees without sources. We all know how unreliable how word of mouth or guessing can be so I'm not sure I will get any value out of this site. I did decide to give it the full year to continue testing it.

It's helped me find hundreds of new ancestors. It also made me laugh when MyHeritage found a pedigree associated with my father. Amusingly, it was his collie's pedigree, with a link to the American Kennel Club! I and my genealogy friends thought we'd die laughing!
It's amazing what MyHeritage finds for me without me even asking. Via their OldNews service It uncovered the registration name of our first collie along with sire and dam and breeder names. Was NOT expecting that. Our family dog was registered as Cheyenne Break o' Day sired by Duke of White Hub on Cheyenne Sand Storm. Well, it is a pedigree linked to my family surname. It found the info in the American Kennel Club Stud Book Register Dec 1956 New York, United States. Now THAT is truly a full service genealogy subscription!
I suppose their AI just assumed that "Stud Book Register" was a legitimate source for furthering one's genealogy...
I can't stop laughing at this! It truly brightened my day.
Ik heb niet de allerbeste computer ervaring en toch kan ik me er goed mee redden.
De overschakeling van stamboom naar familie overzicht is erg mooi.
Tevens de voorstellen die MyHeritage via de mail doet zijn erg handig.
Ook leuk dat je herinnert wordt als er verjaardagen of bruiloften zijn.
Ik vind het een echte aanrader.
